Mac mini keeps telling me my itunes is already associated to an apple id, but mine is the only one and i still cant download a purchase made from my iphone or ipad.

I have recently been experincing this error and i am the admin on the computer and it is the only apple ID i have ever had or used yet it seems to think there is another one. My wife has an account on the computer and her itunes is signed under her name, same with my brother-in-law, i deauthorized all the accounts and then just set mine and still get the error.

Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

  • I purchased a television series and halfway through downloading, it stopped and iTunes told me that my computer is already associated with an apple ID, but I bought the show using my apple ID, the same one I'm using to try to download. Help?

    Okay, so I purchased the first season of American Horror Story, and began to download the season from the cloud. It started great, and I managed to download the first seven episodes, before having a message box pop up and say that my cloud session has been expired. Now, every time I click the little cloud button on the TV cover, or beside the episode titles, iTunes tells me "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID." But I bought the season using my own Apple ID, and it's telling me that my computer can use a Apple ID within 77 days. But I don't want to use another Apple ID, I want to use my own. I have no idea why this is happening and I would like to download and watch the items I have bought with my own money. Thank you for your help.

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • The track listing is incorrect on the REM Warner Bros. Box Set. However, no-one appears to be doing anything about it. Do iTunes or WB even know it's incorrect? Am I the only one who's noticed?

    Don,
    To be a good citizen, you may wish to contact Warner Brothers and alert them to the error.  That will allow them to verify it, and advise the iTunes Store (as well as other music download stores) of the corrections.
    You also have the option of advising the iTunes Store directly via their feedback page, but be aware that Apple is unlikely to take a fan's input to overrule info that they received from the label.  So contacting WB is probably more effective.

    Transfer all of your content to the computer:
    Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

    Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

  • I want to download music purchases made on my iphone onto itunes on my pc and can't argghhh

    iTunes has been running great, now I have bought a new laptop and want to use iTunes on it instead.  In the meantime I have made a few purchases on my iPhone.  I have iTunes up and running on the new laptop but seem unable to get the new purchases from my iPhone onto iTunes on the laptop.  It keeps suggesting I erase the library on my iPhone and resync with the laptop iTunes, but surely this will mean I lose my iPhone purchases???  help,  please.....

    Hi there, BeckySterritt!
    I was able to find this great Knowledge Base article that should be able to guide you on exactly how to get the content on your Phone down to your computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    If you have additional questions there is an Additional Information section with some other great links:
    Additional Information
    For additional information about moving your music, see iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.
    If the purchases you are looking for are not on any of your devices, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities for answers to your question.

  • TS3694 I have issues loading new version of iTunes. It fails upon locating iTunes64.msi. I enter the correct location and it still won't update. Have attempted to manually delete the old program without success.

    Also, iTunes cannot access the store anymore. 

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • My ical will not sync with iphone and ipad since I've been using icloud. It says URL is incorrect. But what is the correct one and where do I input that to enable all calenders to sync on all devices?

    What is the correct URL for my ical on my MacBook so that all devices will have the same information? And how/where do I update that?
    Thank you.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Am I the only one that has had every charging cable (for my iPhones and my iPads) fail? Very frustrating. I got used to quality products from Apple but seems the small stuff is being overlooked nowadays.

    I have yet to have a cable for my iPad 3, iPad 4 or iPhone 5 fail. I have multiple cables for each device without any failures.
